Winnie the Pooh: My favorite thing is me coming to visit you, and then you ask, "How about a small smackeral of honey?"

Christopher Robin: I like that, too. But what I like most of all is just doing nothing.

Winnie the Pooh: How do you do just nothing?

Christopher Robin: Well, when grown-ups ask, "What are you going to do?" and you say, "Nothing," and then you go and do it.

Winnie the Pooh: I like that. Let's do it all the time.

Christopher Robin: You know something, Pooh? I'm not going to do just nothing anymore.

Owl: It was the year my Aunt Clara went to visit her cousin. Now, her cousin was not only gifted on the glockenspiel, but being a screech owl, also sang soprano in the London Opera.

Winnie the Pooh: Thank you, Piglet.

Owl: You see, her constant praticing so unnerved my aunt that she laid a seagull egg by mistake. Oooohhhhhhhhhh!

Tigger: [looking at his reflection] Oh, hey, hey. Look, look, look. Oh, what a strange-looking creature. Mmm, look at those beady little eyes, and that "purrposterous" chin, and those "rickydickorous" striped py-jamas!

Winnie the Pooh: Looks like another tigger to me.

Tigger: Oh, no, it's not. I'm the only tigger.

[briefly giggles]

Tigger: Watch me scare the stripes off of this imposter.

[Tigger growls at his reflection; he scares himself, and hides under Pooh's table]

Tigger: Is-Is-Is... Is he gone?

Winnie the Pooh: All except the tail.

[Tigger tucks his tail]

Winnie the Pooh: He's gone.

Winnie the Pooh: [to his reflection] Oh, hello. Am I glad to see you. It's more friendly with two. Now, you go that way, and I'll go this way.

Winnie the Pooh: [walks away from mirror, then runs back] You didn't see anything, did you? Neither did I.

Winnie the Pooh: Christopher Robin, can you make a one-hero party into a two-hero party?

Christopher Robin: Of course we can, silly old bear.

Tigger: Well, I gotta go now. I've got a lotta bouncin' to do.

[chuckles]

Tigger: T-T-F-N: ta-ta for now!

Winnie the Pooh: Look, look, Piglet. There's something in that tree over there.

Piglet: Is it one of the f-f-fiercer animals?

Tigger: Halloo!

Winnie the Pooh: Yes. It's a "jagular."

Piglet: W-What do "jagulars" d-do, Pooh?

Winnie the Pooh: Well, "jagulars" always call,

[drops Piglet]

Winnie the Pooh: "Halloo!" And when you look up, they drop on you.

Piglet: I'm looking *down*, P-P-Pooh.

Tigger: Say, who are you?

Narrator: I'm the narrator.

Tigger: Oh, well, please, for goodness' sakes, narrate me down from here.

Tigger: [singing] The wonderful thing about tiggers / Is tiggers are wonderful things / Their tops are made out of rubber / Their bottoms are made out of springs / They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun / Oh but the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one / IIIII'm the only one.

[growls]

[singing]

Winnie the Pooh: Hum dum de dum, hum dum de dum / I am so rumbly in my tumbly.

Winnie the Pooh: [hits head] Ooh!

Winnie the Pooh: Time to munch an early luncheon / Hum de dum dum dum / Oh, I wouldn't climb this tree / If a Pooh flew like a bee / But I wouldn't be a bear then / So I guess I wouldn't care then / Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bear / So I do care, so I climb there / I'm so rumbly in my tumbly / Time for something... for something...

Winnie the Pooh: [branch breaks] ... sweet! To eat!

Eeyore: W-O-L, that spells owl.

Owl: Bless my soul, so it does.

Winnie the Pooh: Is anybody at home?

[no answer]

Winnie the Pooh: What I said was, "Is anybody at home?"

Rabbit: No.

Winnie the Pooh: Bother. Isn't there anybody here at all?

Rabbit: [hurriedly puts dishes away] Nobody!

Winnie the Pooh: Must be somebody there, because *somebody* must have said "Nobody."

[last lines]

Narrator: Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in their enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting.

Roo: [swinging on Tigger's tail] Don't swing on a swing. / It's much too frail. / The best kind of swing / Is a Tigger's tail. Whee!

Narrator: And so we come to the last chapter, in which Pooh and Christopher Robin go to the enchanted part of the forest, and we say goodbye.

Winnie the Pooh: Goodbye? Oh no, please. Can't we just go back to page one and start all over again?

Narrator: Sorry, Pooh, but all stories have an ending, you know.

Winnie the Pooh: Oh, bother.

Tigger: [Sitting on Pooh's stomach] And who are you?

Winnie the Pooh: I'm Pooh.

Tigger: Oh, Pooh.

[giggles]

Tigger: Sure! Uh - what's a pooh?

Winnie the Pooh: You're sitting on one.

Rabbit: He budged! Hooray! "Chistopher Crabin!" Uh, uh, "Chrostofer Raban!" He bidged! He badged! He booged! Today's the day!

[Tigger had found a lost Rabbit and is rushing him out of the misty woods]

Narrator: Rabbit was now a humiliated rabbit, a lost-and-found rabbit, and a "Why, oh why do these things happen to me?" rabbit.

[Tigger has been freed from the tree after promising never to bounce again]

Tigger: [ecstatic] Oh, I'm so happy, I feel like bouncing!

[he leaps into the air to bounce, but Rabbit stops him in mid-leap]

Rabbit: Ah-ah-ah! You promised, you promised!

Tigger: [falling back down sadly] Oh, I did, didn't I? You mean I-I can't ever bounce again?

Rabbit: Never!

Tigger: [traumatized] Never?

[he lips quivers]

Tigger: N-Not even just - one teensy-weensy bounce?

Rabbit: [defiantly] Not even a smidgen of a bounce!

Gopher: Sssssuffering Ssssssuccotash!

Tigger: [while Roo is swinging on his tail] S-s-s-s-s-stop that, kid, please!

[cut to his point of view]

Tigger: S-T-O-P! Stop! You're rocking the forest!

Narrator: Now, the very blustery night turned into a very rainy night. And Pooh kept his lonely vigil, hour, after hour, after hour - until at last - Pooh fell fast asleep - and began to dream.

Gopher: First thing to be done is, uh, get rid of that bear; he's jamming up the whole project.

Owl: Dash it all, he *is* the project!

Winnie the Pooh: Christopher Robin... I think the bees S-U-S-P-E-C-T something.

Christopher Robin: Perhaps they think you're after their honey.

Winnie the Pooh: Well, it may be that. You never can tell with bees.
